Neomezia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Primulaceae.[1] It only contains one known species, Neomezia cubensis (Radlk.) Votsch [2] It is also in the subfamily of Theophrastoideae.
It is native to Cuba.[2]
The genus name of Neomezia is in honour of Carl Christian Mez (1866–1944), a German botanist and university professor.[3] The Latin specific epithet of cubensis means "of Cuba" (where the plant was found).[4] Both the genus and species were first described and published in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. Vol.33 on page 506 in 1904.[2]
It has an accepted subspecies, Neomezia cubensis subsp. oligospinosa (Lepper) Borhidi which is native to north-western Cuba.[5]
